Bioinformatic and immunological analysis reveals lack of support for measles virus related mimicry in Crohn's disease
(2014)Background: A link between measles virus and Crohn's disease (CD) has been postulated. We assessed through bioinformatic and immunological approaches whether measles is implicated in CD induction, through molecular mimicry. ... -
Electrostatic modeling of peptides derived from the V3-loop of HIV-1 gp120: Implications of the interaction with chemokine receptor CCR5
(2007)Infection of CD4(+) T cells by macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains involves interaction of viral gp 120 with the host cell chemokine receptor CCR5. The principle neutralizing determinant (PND) of the V3-loop of the HIV-1 gp120 ... -
Peculiar antibody reactivity to human connexin 37 and its microbial mimics in patients with Crohn's disease
(2011)Background/aims: We found that pooled Crohn's disease (CD) sera strongly react with a human gap-junction connexin 37 (Cx37) peptide and tested for anti-Cx37 antibody reactivity in sera from CD patients and controls. We ...
